Podcast Series Debut Artist: Chord Four

Beginning this month, and now every month, Hardbop will feature a different artist (emerging or established) on the jazz scene using a 30min podcast. The program is aptly titled “THE SCENE” and will include any combination of reviews/interviews in addition to playing music from the artists most recent release. You can download and stream these podcasts in the “audio/podcasts” tab within the “media” tab at the top of your screen.

Chord Four is a group based out of Los Angeles. They are beginning to spread the wings and tour the US and Europe in the upcoming year. I met one of the members of the quartet on the train ride home to Montclair, New Jersey. I had a great time getting up with Brandon Sherman and decided quickly that his group would be wonderful way to premiere THE SCENE.
